Getting fancy up in here...

Since we moved out to the beach, I have found my wardrobe getting more and more causal. Living downtown, you can get away with a lot more. Living in a beach city, just wearing leather leggings can make you stand out like you are wearing sparkly booty shorts at the grocery store.

With that said, a girl still has to dress up every once and while, right?

We went out with some friends a little while back and I took full advantage and got fancy. Well, fancy for beach living...

A few months ago, I got this fantastic vegan leather skirt from H&M and this bright silk windowpane blouse from J Crew. It was finally time to put them both together with some booties, tights and pearls. There is something fun about silk & pearls with leather...kind of like a bad-ass school girl kind of vibe.

Of course, as soon as we got home, I went right back to lululemon yoga pants and a hoodie...but at least I was fancy for a few hours. As much as I miss dressing up...having this view every morning...

...and this view every night...

...makes it all worth it!

Does your living situation affect how you dress? What do you wear that makes you stand out?

Hi Jill, thanks so much for the follow and for reading my blog. I'm following you right back.I understand what you mean about circumstances making our wardrobes a bit more casual...I'm finding the same thing since I left my office gig. Have a lovely day, dearXO, Ginahttp://classyeverafter.blogspot.com
